A bumpersticker sighted in the San Francisco Bay Area:

“Al Gore didn’t invent the Internet, but he sure did make up Global Warming.”

By now, Phil Jones of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) should require no introduction

Yeah, 'cause he's TOTALLY been front page news on every newspaper in America the last few weeks.

[Lancey Howard]

Where are the indictments for Phil Jones, Michael Mann, and the rest of the climate fraud conspirators?

If there is no greenhous effect there also can’t be a greenhouse gas.

[wita]

But be that as it may — the level of deception perpetrated by Jones and his co-conspirators at the Climatic Research Unit and in governments world wide, will likely remain the yardstick by which climate fraud is measured for years to come….

Knowing the level of fraud and deception, and the lengths to which its proponents were willing to go, should net the death penalty for all of the willing co-conspirators, and long prison terms for the enablers in the media.

Of course, much will be made of Jones’s claim that the refusal to share raw temperature data was partially based on the fact that it “was not well enough organized.”

Hey, Barry. Here's a new one for you to use to explain why nobody's gotten any real biographical information on you.

There is much debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period was global in extent or not. The MWP is most clearly expressed in parts of North America, the North Atlantic and Europe and parts of Asia. For it to be global in extent the MWP would need to be seen clearly in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern Hemisphere. There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two regions.

From CO2 Science:

Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week

Was there a Medieval Warm Period? YES, according to data published by 804 individual scientists from 476 separate research institutions in 43 different countries ... and counting! This issue's Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week comes from the Boniface River Area, Northern Québec, Canada. To access the entire Medieval Warm Period Project's database, click here.

Phil Jones is either willfully ignorant of or deliberately deceptive about the extent of research demonstrating the existence of the Medieval Warm Period.

On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but was less warm that today, then current warmth would be unprecedented.

Both the Roman Warming (around 2 thousand years before the present) and the Holocene Warming Period (between 8 and 4 thousand years before the present of the current interglacial) as well as the previous 4 interglacial periods were all much warmer than this last bit of the current interglacial.

What a freaking moron. The time span he is talking about is barely the blink of an eye in the long history of the planet. To call anything that has happened in such a small time frame "unprecedented" is to live in a fantasy land.

I’m really enjoying the unraveling of this hoax. There’s a certain smug satisfaction in seeing one’s analysis of this fraud vindicated after so many years of pointing out the obvious fallacies. After being thrown in a category described as “deniers, flat-earthers, kooks, big oil/corporate whores” etc., etc., it’s a thing of beauty to watch this “science is settled” theory go down in flames.

That being said, what I find truly beyond belief, is the number of “true believers” who refuse to even listen to what Dr. Phil Jones is admitting. Who refuse to acknowledge the stories of manipulated data, fraudulent studies, intimidation of opposing views.

The believers are having a classic case of cognitive dissonance. I’ve no doubt that 100 years from now this will be studied in psychology books. It easily could go into an updated version of “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”

The cult members are seeing their religious views questioned and refuse to see that the Emperor has no clothes. The closest I’ve seen a true believer come to an admission that perhaps he’s been hoodwinked, was after a discussion when a guy listened to what I had to say without any response or interruption, until finally, with a pained look on his face he said “Why are you so against clean, renewable, efficient energy?”

The Hoax may be over but the power grab is not.

Global warming is a cult.
